Another cuff sold! Again with the 'thank goodness I'm freaking about money' moment: in the same stack of mail is the property tax bill! Maybe I can conjure up another sale before the bill is due...maybe a couple of them. Currently working on another raven cuff and a couple embroidered necklaces with very slow progress. I have a whole list of excuses for not beading, some of them good (extra hours at work) and some of them lame (Alias on DVD) and some I don't want to admit to.
I made a springtime/flower doll for Lora K. who's dealing with chemo (my excuses are so lame in comparison!) and has two young boys and a seriously good attitude. She was diagnosed with cancer but they downgraded it to something less dire...but really? Chemo is awful no matter what the diagnosis.
Last year at about this time, I took myself off to the clinic to talk to a therapist about why I was so miserable. The therapist agreed with me, it's incredibly difficult to make friends here especially with women. She described it taking years to get beyond surface polite behavior. This year... I know why. There are many more women than men here and once a woman gets a guy she guards that relationship with her life. I thought he was a better person than he is (the excuse I don't want to admit). I fell for his b.s. and now get to trudge through the recovery... bleh.

That is lovely...is it a poppy? Hope you get another one made & sold to pay property tax. I had to see some of my dolls to pay for Frodo's teeth.
take care

I read about Frodo's teeth, did you really get him dentures? My old dog has worn down teeth, but they seem pretty healthy...our vet comes to town every 3 months or so.
It is a poppy, one of the very first cuffs I made when I was first deciding to move here.
Love the poppy cuff, Kelly! Wish things were going better for you otherwise. Lora does have a wonderful attitude, doesn't she? You are both very strong women.
Beautiful poppy, congrats on the sale! I'm glad you're in a better place than last year.
G'day mate. Sorry I haven't checked in for a bit.
Anyways, do you only sell locally? Can you mail to Aus? What's the cost of the bracelets and necklaces? Drop me a line:

Hey Dave, back from the abduction at last! I'll send you an email, thanks for asking.
